IPL 2019 Auction: Who's been traded for whom so far?

The Indian Premier League 2019 auction is not far away as the teams are busy plotting their buys for the upcoming season.

Prior to the auction, each team is supposed to list down the players they want to retain and release ahead. The deadline for the same is November 15. Teams were also allowed to trade players amongst themselves during this time.

There have been a few big names traded so far and a few big names who have been released as well. On the other hand, we have seen changes in coaching personnel as well.

In this article, we take a look at what the teams have been up to prior to deadline day for announcing the players released and retained:

Note: Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals have not traded any players so far.

They also roped in Mohammed Kaif as the assistant coach.
